A pre-doctoral position in molecular imaging neurosciences is offered to work on an ERANET-Neuron international project (IMatrix) coordinated by Dr. Abraham Martín, leader of the Neuroimaging and Biomarkers of Inflammation Lab at Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience (Leioa, https://www.achucarro.org/research-groups). This project will explore and validate the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of MMPs using smart 19F nanoprobes after preclinical stroke. The candidate will participate in a translational project aimed to investigate the role of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) on the secondary ischemic damage and blood-brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction. The project will use stroke models in rats and a battery of molecular imaging techniques (positron emission tomography (PET), Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Confocal and 2-Photon microscopy) together with ex vivo molecular biology, and immunohistochemical techniques.
